Pittsburgh Hosts Global Summit to Tackle Extremist Hate
Tuesday, September 20, 2022
Extraordinary global conference aimed at stemming the expansion of hate-fueled extremist violence
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The most comprehensive anti-hate conference in the world kicks off in Pittsburgh, PA on September 19, 2022. The Eradicate Hate Global Summit unites experts and leaders from around the globe, who are dedicated to eradicating all forms of hate-fueled violence. The mission of the Summit is to identify and implement effective solutions for collective change.
The Summit grew out of the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history. In October 2018, a heavily armed gunman massacred worshipers from three different congregations at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life Synagogue. The horror of the attack prompted the Eradicate Hate organizers to create the world's most coordinated offensive against hate and extremist violence.
Eradicate Hate 2022 brings together leaders from government, academia, journalism, business, and the non-profit sector. All are committed to stopping the viral spread of extremist hate across the globe.The Summit is a search for effective on-going solutions.
